Jamie Braddock Vs Extant

Started by "Id"3 pages

Jamie Braddock has a weakness to getting his neck snapped by Brian.

Only Brain can do this.

No other character can do it.

This is a specific power that Brain has, as the Captain of the Corps.

And then there was that.

Brian stopped Jamie from becoming god of the omniverse by snapping his neck...

If Extant has the complete Worlogog, he does not have any exploitable weaknesses -- Metron made this abundantly clear. As I've mentioned several times, he becomes omnipotent/omniscient. So even if you'd like to assume he and Jamie's powers are equal, Extant is still literally all-knowing. Jamie is not.

IOW, any weaknesses Jamie has...every move/decision he's going to make...Extant would know it all. Obviously, that is a HUGE advantage.

So Henry Cavill will beat him?

Yeah but he'd at least cry like a b*tch afterward, as though he wasn't just involved in a battle that killed thousands of humans via collateral damage... So it's okay. 👆

Like him reading the comics of excalibur he would be watching the movie.

So he would definitely be the loser 😛

...and then did it again.

I know they went out of their way to point out that such and such area was abandoned, or that such and such area was empty because it was night or whatever, but please.

😂 ... that is funny PIS to end a story.

But seriously, Brian sometimes is special when it comes to Jamie.

That aside:

Even Jamie's alternate (which 616 Jamie personally created including his alternate universe) is able to weather shit like this:

Survives and keeps on going after having his torso blown clean out by a shot that exploded the moon:


Survives and keeps on going after getting his head/body fried by Storm's lightning, followed by a haymaker by Colossus:

--------------------------------------------

I would guess those attacks are far more ferocious than a neck snap.

I only had that issue at hand, later, I'll post some more durability feats.

Small issue.

In the comic Extant never had the complete gog.

To make arguments with him having so, would be a spectacularly speculative.

For the purposes of this thread, it really doesn't matter -- Extant may as well have a complete Worlogog. Remember, the only thing that made Extant /w/ his [fractionally incomplete] 'gog vulnerable, was the fact that Hourman still retained a tiny portion of it, thus was able to use it against him. As I said earlier: only the 'gog can beat the 'gog... And since Jamie obviously cannot make a "counter-'gog" or w/e, him using that sort of plot-device to defeat Extant is completely out of the question.

But more on point: does Jamie have any defense against temporal attacks? For example, can he prevent Extant from simply deleting the exact moment in time when he first learned to access his Mutant abilities? I ask because that is yet another option at Extant's disposal -- he's actually done that on panel with a gesture:

And with the omniscience he gains from the 'gog, Extant would instantly know the precise moment(s) in Jamie's timeline to target/delete.

Since he can manipulate spacetime I would assume he could at least shield himseld from such an attack.

There are a lot of things I can *assume* with Extant as well.

However, just because Jamie can manipulate spacetime doesn't automatically give him the ability to defend against having key moments in his personal timeline gesturely deleted by Extant.

No, I suppose the Zoom - Intertia fight is an example of that.

Jamie doesn't just control space-time friends, he controls reality, he makes reality what he wants it to be.

His power can, and has defied logic on several occasions.

But, like all would be all-powerful characters they come with a plot to lose, or at-least be contained.

Jamie's plot is, he's crazy, well, sorta, see,
Jamie thinks that everything else around him is part of a dream, his dream.
But he's also a functioning nut-case cause he's able to be cunning,
and even a calculating strategist in several major events he's manipulated, directly or indirectly

--------------------------------------------------

That aside, is this fight taking place inside the DC or Marvel universe?
If not, I'm not sure Extant can jump to Jamie's "past" before he awaken his power,
there is no "past" here, it's just the here and now, neutral universe.

I thought that was the default setting for forum vs battles.

The battle taking place in a neutral universe doesn't mean a character's personal timeline ceases to exist.

But again: Extant doesn't *have* to go that route. It's just one more option at his disposal... And frankly, it seems like a valid one. /shrug
